The end of the NBA regular season is fast approaching and the Miami Heat, who have been among the Eastern Conference's best for most of the season, still have plenty of incentive to play hard for the final six games. After last night's 111-92 win over the T'Wolves in Minnesota, the Heat find themselves 1/2 game ahead of Boston for the #2 seed and in control of their own destiny. Mi...

Earlier in the year a game between these two teams would have been deemed a potential Finals preview. Although the same boast can be made in theory, the sentiment behind it seems more cosmetic. The Spurs entered the evening on a season worst 4 game losing streak. While their green counterparts are a shell of the team they were a month ago. Injuries, trades, and chemistry are the culprits behi...

I have tried to remain quiet. I have tried to just give it time and trust the management that has lead this proud franchise to a resurgence that would make Donald Trump or the mythical Phoenix proud. I have tried but today my efforts will go in vein. To say the Boston Celtics are struggling would be like saying Lebron's “The Decision” show this past summer was only a minor marketing...

They probably didn't deserve to win. Boston sleep walked through the first half of Monday night's battle with the struggling Knicks but stifled New York in the game's final three minutes to pull out a 96-86 victory. Kevin Garnett delivered a vintage performance and continued his dominance over New York this season with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals. Rajon Rondo came back to life after a ...

I didn’t catch the entire Knicks-Celts game tonight, but from what I saw, this one was not for the faint at heart. This game was reminiscent of those extremely competitive, if a bit bloody, playoff series’ between the Knicks and Heat in the 90’s.
Troy Murphy left with a bloody nose, Big Baby Davis got caught with a Carmelo Anthony elbow to the head, and Ray Allen was forced to briefly lea...

Coming down the stretch I thought “here we go again”. This game was different though, the Sixers defense was unbelievable. Not just in the last 5 minutes but the whole game. Combine that with the lucky running finger-roll that Andre Iguodala threw in to ice the game, and that is a perfect recipe for an upset.
Ray Allen only had 5 points and didn't hit his first bucket til the 4th qu...

Dating back to an impressive, if unexpected victory over the Celtics on January 28, the Suns have quietly won 11 of their last 15 games, including four of their last five. Ironically, the Celtics bookended that run as well, knocking Phoenix off on Wednesday by a score of 115-103. Phoenix made a late run with a barrage of triples, going on an 18-0 run to close the first half and start the second...

Once again, the third quarter haunted the Los Angeles Clippers.
After holding a 47-40 lead at the half, the Clippers were outscored by the Boston Celtics 34-21 in the third frame, and lost for the 10th time in 12 games 99-92 Saturday night at Staples Center.
Paul Pierce led Boston with 24 points and Ray Allen chipped in 22 as the Celtics improved to 42-15 on the season.
Newcomers Nenad Krstic a...

So as the number 1 team in the Eastern Conference with wins over every potential title contender this season, the Boston Celtics trade one of their biggest defensive specialist in Kendrick Perkins. The Celtics also made 2 other deals that returned zero able bodies as Thursday's trade deadline closed in. What in the name of leprechauns are they doing? Here is what inexplicable went down:
Deal 1:...

The NBA resumes action tonight after it's annual All-Star-Break. There is no shortage compelling storylines for the last thirty games or so, and the Heat find themselves right in the thick of it all. Miami is separated by percentage points from the Boston Celtics for first place in the Eastern Conference. The #1 seed in the playoffs would certainly be the goal for this Heat team ...

With the All Star break finaly over and the Carmelo Anthony trade completed we can take a good look at the ways teams have played out.

So who exactly are the 2010-2011 Boston Celtics? Are they the team that handled the Lakers in Los Angeles 109-96? The team that is 3-0 against the Miami Heatels, Sobe Three, or whatever they are calling themselves today? Are they an old withered bunch who father time seems to favor for 48 minutes a night? Or are they the team with embarrassing loses to the Bobcats, Pistons, Suns, Rockets, and g...
